Awesome article on "skinny bashing," referenced below. I completely agree that beauty is not about size. Really beauty, as cliche as it is, is about what's inside not what's outside. However, if we want to discuss outer beauty, we should be talking about health, not stereotypes. It's not healthy to be obese, OR ridiculously skinny. But there are beautiful, healthy men and women of all shapes and sizes. That's what matters.
Skinny bashing and fat bashing reflect our society's unhealthy, appearance-based, value system. And I think that women perpetuate this MORE than men do. So let's quit it. Stop worrying about ideal sizes and instead enjoy food and exercise for the sake of being healthy, not being skinny.
